The other day, I spoke to one of my male friends about why he hasn’t gotten married yet, when he has been with his girlfriend for quite some time. He shared with me the main reason for this. I found the conversation to be illuminating.

I talked to one of my longtime male friends on the phone the other night. We had not spoken for quite some time. So we spent a few hours catching up on details about each others lives.

At some point, during the conversation, the subject of sex came up. I learned that my friend had not been able to get laid for nearly a year! My jaw dropped. My friend is tall, degreed and good-looking. These are some qualities that would inspire most single women to give him a chance.

And although, many of the women gave him a chance, what was more interesting about my friend’s situation, is the reason why he wasn’t “winning” in the romance area.
